Back to School She Goes

August 22, 2018 By Robin Lee Hatcher

Well, dear readers, it's that time of year again. Summer is winding down (although our 109℉ temp a couple of weeks ago seems to deny that), and the stores are filled with shoppers buying backpacks and school supplies to fill them.

Living in the Story

August 8, 2018 By Robin Lee Hatcher

Yesterday, Jerry and I took Boo for a “meet and greet.” In a few weeks, she is going to spend time with a dog sitter while we travel across the state to a family event. I found the sitter on Rover.com, and we were meeting her and her family in advance of our trip. Side note: Boo is going to have so much fun with those boys!!

And every year, these sisters of my heart become more and more dear to … [Read more...]

Back in April I shared some of my entries from the first few weeks of journaling. Since today was day #100, I thought I would share some of my favorite entries from the last half of the devotional. This experience has been a wonderful one. I highly … [Read more...]

Old Books Becoming New Again

June 27, 2018 By Robin Lee Hatcher

My first book was published in 1984. Those were the days when I wrote my novels long hand on yellow legal pads, then typed them on a borrowed typewriter (using carbon paper and onion skin paper for the second copy). The resulting fat stack of 400 pages was then sent to the publisher at a rather hefty shipping price. When my books released, I had four to six weeks for sales in the bookstore. … [Read more...]
